Target Black Friday deal

gidgetgh — Thu, 28 Nov 2019 16:19:02 GMT

If you're not a Target shopper, feel free to skip this.

One of my favorite Target deals of the year.

Shop any time tomorrow, Black Friday and spend at least $50. At the register, they will give you a coupon for 20% off one total purchase for the period of Dec. 3rd through Dec. 14th.

I did this last year and plan to do it again tomorrow. I spent as close to the minimum of $50 as I could (bought a few toys for Toys for Tots) and got the coupon. Then I went back during the coupon period and stocked up on household stuff. I saved a TON that day. And you can still use coupons and be eligible for any free gift card with purchase deals.

Other than the 10% off Target gift card deal, which will be in a few weeks, this is my favorite deal.

It IS a good deal and I am a Target shopper, for now anyway, but I have two concerns. First, the window to use the 20% off is fairly short but my major issue is product availability... My closest Target store seems to be increasingly woefully mismanaged and poorly stocked and their website also is too often showing items as being unavailable... I've been shopping Target and enjoying shopping Target since they opened in my area, but they really need to step it up...

@stevieb - I've got my stock up list ready to go and will have no problem getting there in the 12 day window.

I'm sorry your Target isn't up to par. We have and all one really close to us (my favorite)' a regular Target and then a Super Taeget close by. That store is a little too frenzied for me/.

I always take advantage of the gift card deal, making my list now!!

@gidgetgh There are many Target stores located in my area, but the closest store isn't well stocked or, it would seem, well managed. I was told by someone who works there that their corporate office too had labeled it as being not a high volume store so they no longer stock at night, but during the day when shoppers are trying to find what they need and get through the aisles, which were already cramped and now are often blocked... Frankly, it's a bit of a mess... I could go to another store, but like you, I find the ones in 'higher volume' areas tend to be a bit frantic... I like browsing the store and also like shopping Target online, but am lately too often finding items unavailable and although delivery had been quick and easy, lately they've been using Fedex, which is a whole other kettle of fish with its own set of gltiches...

@stevieb. Why don't you shoot off an email to corporate headquarters and complain? So easy to do.

@Kachina624 Actually, I did via completing one of the 'tell us how we're doing' gizmos and got a nice email from someone at the store thanking me for my feedback... Meanwhile, absolutely nothing has changed... I've also completed feedback forms online where they ask if they can contact you for more information and I've always agreed they can... Never heard a word... I do think the only way to really be heard is perhaps an actual letter to a VP... I suspect even then you'll be thanked for your feedback and that's about it but I might do it anyway... At a time when stores are struggling, they need to know their own policies and uneven management are a big part of the reason...

It should be very soon, the holidays are very close, and Chanukah begins on the 21st.

@Kachina624 I sent a complaint about our local Target last Spring because everytime I go there the shoe department aisles are blocked by pallets of merchandise and the janitorial workers are running the sweeper in the clothing departments with electric cords running across the floors. A woman coming out of the dressing room tripped and almost fell. I received a stock reply but nothing has ever been improved. It is a bad situation. I really don't think corporate cares.

I rarely shop at a Target store now....usually online only if I need something. Our local Target store seems to be staffed with only 20-somethings who never look up from their phones....impossible to get help or ask a question.I went in to pick up an online order...the guy at the desk brought out the box, then left me and others in line while he took a huge grocery order outside to curbside pickup. Customer service there is nonexistent.

@gidgetgh For you and anyone else that may be interested...

I placed 2 separate orders at Target online for $50+ and received a 20% off coupon for each order. The coupon code on each is different which is great so for deals at Target for the period of 12/3-12/14, I can use one for each week of deals.

One I'll use for week/period of 12/3-12/7 and the other for week/period of 12/8-12/14...

@Susan Louise - thanks for mentioning that you can get the coupon online. I forgot to do that.

i went to Target this morning and took my husband with me. We split our purchase in half and we got two coupons. I'm giving one to my sister who is out of town right now.

@gidgetgh It's great you got 2 coupons already and your sister will appreciate it!

I actually didn't know if I would get different coupon codes or not when I placed the 2nd order, but it was a nice surprise. I just ordered extra of certain food & household products to stock up for the winter. Less trips to the store during the winter period is a great thing when the risks are higher to be around someone who is sick. DH and I try to cut our trips to grocery stores in half or more and always carry sanitizing wipes.

Anyway, I was thinking that if I used the 1st coupon during the 1st week/period, and then when the following week's circular came out in our Sunday paper and I see some great deals, I would be disappointed I used the 20% off coupon the previous week...LOL

BTW, thanks for this thread & the HU on this deal

And speaking of Target... Recenty, I'd signed up for an email when an item returned to stock... I got the email yesterday evening and went to order the item today... You guessed, it, out of stock again... Come on Target, we're talking about a mattress pad here, hardly a hot Christmas commodity... What, did they restock like two of them... Actually, the website touts 'Hurry 1 left'... Uh uh... Went to put it in my cart but then another message comes up that says it can't be put in my cart because it's sold out... Last time I was in the store, half the items on my list were 'out of stock' and at least four items I was seeking were also out of stock last time I shopped the website. Sorry, but to my mind this is no way to run a successful store... I'm close to being done with this retailer...

Whoa...the 2 Target orders I placed just hours ago have shipped...

The Target elves are doing an AWESOME job!

How cute is this?! LOL

Re: Target Black Friday deal

Susan Louise — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 00:38:47 GMT

I just used my 1st 20% off coupon online and saved about $17. I'll use the other 20% off coupon the week of the 8th before it expires on the 14th

Re: Target Black Friday deal

gidgetgh — Fri, 06 Dec 2019 01:14:24 GMT

I used my first coupon and had a huge stock up trip. I saved just over $86 and I also got $15 back in a Target gift card for promotions they were running on Charmin, Bounty and other cleaning products.

I'm using my second coupon tomorrow at a different store.
